I just turned 18 years old not too long ago and I’m 5’6. I’m about 135 and in good athletic shape but I’m just really self-conscience about my height. It’s weird because my dad is 6’3 and most men on my dads side of the family are 5’10 or taller. But my mom is 5’2 which is probably where I got my height from. Men on her side are mixed, some are 6’0 but some are short like me.

I really just want another 3 inches and that’s all, just to be 5’9 I’d be satisfied. My orthodics for my flat fleet already give me another inch when wearing shoes but I want to be naturally taller. One of my uncles (on moms side) didn’t stop growing until he was about 26 and grew from 5’8 to 6’0.
I just want to know the likelihood of me growing anymore, and when. and if there are any exercises or pills or something I can take to help.

Thanks

I am 15, almost 16 and I am 5’5 1/2, maybe 5’6. I am a late bloomer, I didn’t get my period until 14 and my dad grew until he was 21. Im not sure about my mom, 18 I think. My mom is 5’7 and my dad is 5’10. I’m 100% polish so the polish build is naturally tall and lean, I weigh something like 105 pounds. Anyways, I want to model (I’ve been to several agencies that said I have the perfect face/body type except for my height and though I’ve landed a few jobs I can’t get anything serious unless I grow. Just to let you know, height genetics in my family are quite varied. Its like their more environment influenced than gene influenced. For example my cousins from my moms side are both over 6 foot (an one is a girl) but their parents are pretty short. My cousins from my dads side didn’t follow their parents height at all. My aunts kids for example are all over 6 foot, the tallest is 6’4 and theyre guys by the way but they are all very athletic. Their mom is 5’3 and their dad is 5’7 but theyre giants. On the other hand my uncles kids (girls) are petite. They are 5’1 and 5’4 but their mom and dad are both 5’9. However they are not very athletic. I’ll do anything that has to do with excercise except swimming because I don’t have regular access to a pool. I’ll also take pills/supplements. As far as diet goes I need recommendations that will also keep me skinny because ofcourse that is essential to modeling. My guess is lean meats, fish, and vegetables but I could be wrong. My goal is to be atleast 5’8 so thats only 2 more inches but idealy I’d like to be 5’10. I’ve heard that 4 inches is possible, especially when done at a young age and I have atleast 3 years before my growth plates fuse. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Oh also, if its at all possible I’d like to get to 5’8 in one year because thats when I get my braces off and I can restart modeling. Thanks!!
Just to clarify: by pills I meant vitamins like calcium and stuff. Will that help?

Okay, I’m currently just turned 16 and I’m a fluent weightlifter. I’m 5’4 I have been lifting weights since I was 14. My dad’s 5’10, mom is 5’4, little brother that 12 5’0, and my oldest brother is 6’1. So is there anyway that I can my myself taller and don’t give me that genetic crap because every male on my mother side of the family is over 6 feet and the men on my dad side are not short but only my brother and one of my uncles is over 6 feet, the other is 5’7, but my grandpa was over 6 feet and my dad was 5’10 since he was 13, he stunt his growth because of an illness, so should stop lifting weights, but I’m at 215 on my bench and really not considering that, so is there anyway you guys can help me out a little.

Im a guy almost 17 .. i think with shoes im 177cm-178cm?

some pple say a son cant outgrow his father… my dad is 184cm..ish and my uncles exceed 190cm+ and so do my cousins and my cousins are pretty much taller then me too… 185+

my moms side are shorter -.- my mom is 160 maybe 163 ionno?

tallest dude on my moms side is 180cm

Could someone fill me in a bit?

about the growth and what could effect it . and what possible will happen with me? cuz i rlly wanna be taller then this.. ?
i know ppl that still grew when they were 17 .. and arent males supposed to grow till like 21-22 ? possibly i mean

I’m currently 5’8 at 17 and have a 4’11 mum and a 5’7 dad. I assume they shrunk a inch or two as they’re 50+.

You see, I want to be a high fashion male model but the requirements are high, minimum at about 5’11.

I’m from an asian ethinic background (Cambodian and Chinese) but I have been told I had tall grandparents, two uncles and a aunty who died in the Pol Pot War. I say this because my mum and and two surviving uncles were quite short (mum side, uncles about 5’6) compared to their siblings. Mum told me that the goodlooking people had to die etc Have no idea why? (my mum is just short, thankfully). I don’t want you guys to get too attached to this story but yes, I had uncles, aunties and grandparents around 5’10 to 6ft plus. This is just my mum side, I rarely talk to my dad as we bicker occasionally.

My shoe size is 11 ½ inches US which is awkwardly not proportioned to my height (dunno whether it’s a sign). I’ve never really had a growth spurt, I just gradually grew into my height. Mum said I was about 3ft when I was 2….

I’m just psyching myself out because I do think I will get upset if I don’t grow anymore.

Lately, I’ve been taking nature owns multivitamins to replace all my missing supplements and drinking milk and I do sleep 8 hours a night even on school nights.

Is there anyway to improve my chances on becoming taller, even though I might not?

As I assume the majority of users on WP are over 18, are there people who’ve had similar worries to me at my age and realised they actually grew taller? Like how tall were you at 17 and how tall are you currently?
P.S. As I’ve taken time to write my message, please don’t copy and from some other similar post but tell me what you think etc.

And don’t tell me things that I probably know… Such as the exact age when people stop growing

I took a few shots of Depot Testosterone in High School…in the back of my mind I have this terrible regret that I could have been taller…you see I’m pretty short (about 5’6") although my mom is about 5’0" (short too) and my dad is about 5’9" …do you think that I was just naturally ending up this height, or did I sabatoge my self?

If I was just supposed to be short than Oh well, what can I do…. I’m 24 now..(fully grown)
Also my sister’s really short, about 5’1"..so it might just be genetic…and all of my uncles are pretty short on my mom’s side

But my littel brother’s like three inches taller than me, with bigger hands and feet

i am 14 and 4’11". i am wondering when i will grow, never had a growth spurt in my life. my mom and dad are 5’6" and both uncles, mom and dads side, are 6’4, and both aunts, moms and dads side, are 5’10". i weigh 83 lbs and my shoe size grew 2 1/2 sizes last sumer, and 1 this year. when will i grow taller? and how tall?

have grown regularly throughout my life. I had really only one big growth spurt when I was about 13 and I have grown maybe about 1-2 inches a year. My doctor did not even think I would be as tall as I am now because my parents are both short, but now he says I may still have another 1-2 inches still to go. My shoe size also goes up a half size every year and a half. My brother is 25 and about 5’10” without shoes and he did not stop growing until he was 21, but my sister is 24 and 5’9”. My father was about 5’7” and my mom is 5’4”. My fathers side of the family is very short, but my mother’s side is huge. Her uncles were all 6’3” +. I am curious about how much taller I can grow. I only shave about once a week, I am starting to notice chest hair and my voice is starting to change, but I still look like I am only 15 or 16 (my age). So am I done or how much do I have to go? Can I reach at least 6’0”? Please answer!!!

I’m a 17 year old Asian male who only stands at 4’11.
My dad is 5’1 mom is 4’9, my older brother is 5’3, and my uncles are all taller than 5’1.
I’d do anything to get taller and I seriously doubt I’ll grow any longer because I used rarely eat lunch at school during jr. high school and some of my highschool years. I only started eating lunch this year. I don’t think I get adequate sleep either so I think it’s my fault that I’m this short.

Anyway I want to look taller by buying these shoes that would make me look like I’m 5’4. Are they worth buying???

Okay, I’m currently just turned 16 in june, and I’m a fluent weightlifter. I’m 5’4 I have been lifting weights since I was 14. My dad’s 5’10, mom is 5’4, little brother that 12 5’0, and my oldest brother is 6’1.

k im 5.8 my shoe size is 12. my dad is 5.10 my mom is 5.6 but i have 3 uncles who are 6 footers. is there any chance ill grow taller?

i’m 5-4 1/4 without shoes and my foot size is really 9 or 9 1/2…it seems too big for my height

Can you grow taller after your growth plates close?
my dad is 5-8 and my mom is 5-2…my uncles are mostly 5-10 except one is like 5-5 maybe 5-5 1/2
Joey yes they do

I am 15.5
Male
Height: 5’9 or a bit taller
Height at age 11-12: 4 foot ten, 13 yrs: 5’4 14 yrs:5’6-5’7
Shoe size: 12 inches
Dad: 5’11…..almost 6 ft when he was at his peak(my dad has smaller shoes than I do)
Mom: 5’3

My dad has soso genes…..he was the tallest among his siblings but he had taller uncles and granddads

My mom has tall genes……
My cousins on her side (age 16-20) are almost all 5’11-6’1……..basically I just have two cousins on her side who went under 6 ft. Tall relatives and such

I’m kinda late in my puberty…I’m just starting to get body hairs…almost none at the moment..I don’t shave yet….I have like 3 hairs on each of my arm pit…but I have pubic hairs though….no acnes………minimal leg hair…no arm hair.

My brother though didn’t get pat 5’9..he remained the same height since he was 17…..he got very sick and almost died because of lung problems caused by drinking and smoking……I’m kinda taller than him now…….he’s 21 now.

So my questions are:

1.) Could I still grow?
2.) How much, on average, do 15 year old males grow in inches before stopping?
3.) What could be my predicted height?

I want to grow taller, and I’m 13. I have had my period for like a year now, so is it still possible to grow? What exercises should I do? I don’t like swimming and biking, and maybe something simple would be good? Also, what should I eat? I’m like 5’1" right now, and I feel really short. Is there any possible way I can grow to be at least 5’2? Or my goal (though I know it’s impossible) is 5’6!!! My parents are 5’4 and 5’6, my uncles are 5’7 and 5’8, and my grand parents are 6′, 5’2, 5’2, and 5’2, so…I don’t know….Any answers will be greatly appreciated!!! =)

hey..im 15 5”7 ft i want to grow to be atleast 6ft i am a basketball player weight-130

oh yeah!! also can you tell me how tall i am going to be im 5’7 parents are 5’5 and dad is 5’8 my uncles are 5’9..5’11..and 6’2.. my doctor says i have one more growth spurt left and i might grow a little before or after my spurt

Hello i am an 18 year old male that is 5’5 inches tall. I live in india
I was wondering is there any chance of me growing any taller? I am taller than my mother, grandmother and grandfather by like 4 inches. And my Father by like 1-2 inches.

I think i was an early sprouter, when i was 12 i was taller than everyone, and slowly along these years i have not grew much, all my friends are taller than me.

Unfortunately, when i was around 12-13, i started working out, (pushups weights) but nothing vertical lifting because it might stunt my growth.

I also consumed creatine, not too much, maybe have of 500mg.

Can this have a negative impact on my growth?

Some good news i heard from my mother was that my 2 uncles (mother side) grew again when around 19-20 years old about 3 inches more (another growth spurt)
Will this affect me?

I really would want to know how to grow taller through nutrition, diet, excersice, or other techniques (but nothing unnatural). I am really desperate to grow taller because it is impacting my confidence because i look at my friends and others at school at my age, and other asian males my age are all taller than me =(

It is making me depressed that i am shorter than everyone =(

I will be 19 in 3 months. Please tell me anything you can to help me!

THANKS!
